Swap your walk-and-talk for a sit-quietly-and-smile-like-an-idiot. Well-known West Wing fanatic and the world’s most creatively realized human being, Lin-Manuel Miranda, took his love of the Bartlet administration to its most obvious, most Lin-Manuel Miranda conclusion: recording an ode to the Aaron Sorkin drama entitled “What’s Next?” The West Wing Weekly co-host and Vulturecontributor Hrishikesh Hirway provided the beat, a longer remix of his podcast’s theme song, and Miranda poured his heart, soul, and Yo-Yo Ma references into it. Consider it “The Jackal” for these new, trying times.
